About the Electronic
Text

This electronic version of the 1677/89 London Baptist Confession of
Faith has been transcribed from a microfilm copy of an original 1677 Confession.
All the old english and even misspelled words have been retainined in an
attempt to produce a near facimile to the original text. Although the Confession
was published in 1677, it was done so anonymously due to the persecution
of the times. It was not until 1689, after the "Glorious Revolution"
under William and Mary of Orange that this Confession was published with
the names of the subscribers and
the churches they represented attached and has become known as the 1689
London Baptist Confession of Faith or the Second London Baptist Confession
of Faith. (See also the sections on Origins
of the Confession and the Historical and
Theological background of the Confession for more details).
